So, I was very curious to see this container mall, and sadly we missed it by about a month. They are slowly dismantling it now that the buildings in the area are finished and ready for stores to occupy.
So, there are maybe 4 places...More

A unique 'street' with shops and restaurants (temporarily?) housed in containers. They have been giving funky make-overs, so what you see is almost an architectural achievement. We loved the (fast food) places too.

We visited Christchurch in May to check how the construction was going. Pleasantly surprised to see 'container city' still operating. Such an iconic boutique area cannot help but love it, both for what is is but also what it represents in spirit.

Love seeing the innovative way Christchurch responded to the earthquake. I honour you in the resourceful way you quickly regrouped and restored business and filling the communities’ need. Worth a look.

Not as many container's here as I thought there would be & the shops that are here are a lot larger than one container.
Must say the prices were very reasonable so we did do some shopping but there were no more than a dozen...More

Came to this area to see the restart container mall. These no longer remain but there are still a few eateries. Great to see things being rebuilt but don't feel it's widely enough advertised that the restart container mall has actually finished so don't go...More

Container Mall (previously called Re:Start Mall) was built out of shipping containers as a temporary solution to host stores destroyed after the Christchurch earthquake. It was planned as a 2-year temporary solution, but it lives on 6 years since.
Christchurch is a city under construction...More

The Restart Mall on Cashel Street is a quirky and interesting shopping precinct fashioned from re-purposed shipping containers. Unfortunately a number of retail outlets were vacant, however it's still worth a visit for food and refreshments. We can recommend the coffee, the Greek and burger...More

Great to see how this city is in progress

The Re:START container mall was born from the need to breathe new life into the Christchurch central city, following the devastating earthquake on 22 February, 2011. Best time of the year to visit - spring is pretty beautiful in the garden city. Facilities and services - same as any Mall. Benefit to the customer, you get to be part of our transitional city, to see the rebuild alongside the devistation - its pretty amazing. Some of the projects going on are like nothing in NZ, its exciting, come be part of it.
